1 Maddison will not be costing £2.5M, probably less than £1M.
2 Ok he may not be the role model footballer but we didn't complain too much about Di Canio.
I hope we get him, but there's only one person that knows & that's him.
Unfortunately, Brum is closer than London for him.
Di Canio was a world class player though.
Top notch trainer as well, by all accounts
That was the thing that struck me most of all watching Di Canio live. You knew he’d have skill and a footballing brain that others could only dream about but I couldn’t believe how hard the guy worked on the field.
Best player I have ever seen in a Charlton shirt.
Allan Simonsen surely or did you only start going when we were in the Premiership 😀
A lot of fans wouldn't even have been born
Have you seen Elfsborg ? Unless he had a hard upbringing I’m pretty sure he was born !
The thing I recall about DiCanio was how much he enjoyed that season. I remember Lisbie's Hat-trick against Liverpool and his delight from the sidelines having been substituted. His best days were behind him, but he still had enough to inject some real quality into what was a very good side.
Anybody with the foresight and bottle to chip David Seaman from the penalty spot was probably having the best season of his whole career
Errr, Seaman wasn't playing. It was the German goalie Lehmann (Sp?).

This all day long, no ifs, no buts, no maybes. Saw him make his debut for the club in a midweek reserve game v Swansea in a fairly packed old West Stand over 2000? fans in attendance November 1982. Elfs was there according to an old post on this forum in 2017 😲.

I can confirm Elfsborg is 85
Eighty five Centimetres ? 😜
Hopefully see you tomorrow mate
Yes looking forward to it, wrap up well because following a lot of wet weather up here we are now in for a cold dry spell starting tonight, safe journey 👍.
The thing I recall about DiCanio was how much he enjoyed that season. I remember Lisbie's Hat-trick against Liverpool and his delight from the sidelines having been substituted. His best days were behind him, but he still had enough to inject some real quality into what was a very good side.
Anybody with the foresight and bottle to chip David Seaman from the penalty spot was probably having the best season of his whole career
Errr, Seaman wasn't playing. It was the German goalie Lehmann (Sp?).

He only scored 4 goals that season all from penalty spot , great player
The day after De Canio's penalty against Arsenal, Paolo was in the club shop and the queue was longer than signing on day in the dole office in Liverpool. My lad was 11 and the conveyor belt was moving quickly, Matt was next to go, what question can I ask the Maestro in 10 seconds ? " Paolo when do you decide where to put your penalty" ? De Canio stood up, and his arms started flailing and I felt like the referee Paul Alcock, but no, he came close and unlike Nigel Winterburn, I didn't back off.
" I decide when I looka deep inside the keeper eyes and I know, I will score. riuscito"
Not a rumour but if we've missed out on Harry Toffolo to Huddersfield Denver Hume has impressed me for Sunderland this year. Definitely someone that would improve us now and has potential to be worth more in a few years time.
I have heard 3 names from various sources - 1 more reliable than others I must add. - ill put the 3 names it ive heard - Scott Fraser from Burton , Billy Gilmour ( loan from Chelsea ) - Matej Vydra.
Tell you what lads, I'll act as independent adjudicator. DM me with what you've heard and I'll keep schtum, but if it pans out I'll confirm your righteousness to the thread :-)

Vydra would be a nice signing but we’d have no chance, there’s loads of clubs in this league that would pay more to sign him.

Vydra was one of the three names that Sage mentioned just after we'd signed Green so would make sense in a way

@Stig you're good with graphics how about knocking up a sort of grid with all the names of players we might be signing on it and we can play a game akin to pin the tail on a donkey 😉.

Warmed up by heading the crossbar - absolute lunatic!

Yep, local press are citing Birmingham (but, money?) and Leeds (money no problem, and best for Vydra's need to impress the national team coach).

First the good news. Lehman looks dazed after nutting the crossbar, now the bad news we need a new crossbar...................Paddy!

No sooner than it is put up than rumours of not one but two signings appear.
Reach out and like the updated squad list to increase its magic power.

Sorry to be harsh but, it's either attention seeking or bullshit.
Just don't say anything.
" Paolo when do you decide where to put your penalty" ?
De Canio stood up, and his arms started flailing and I felt like the referee Paul Alcock, but no, he came close and unlike Nigel Winterburn, I didn't back off.
" I decide when I looka deep inside the keeper eyes and I know, I will score. riuscito"
Two men shake hands, in deep mutual respect.
Agreed though he would be a bit of a coup
